Chapter 20

Chaeyoung's POV

"I am so extremely sorry, James..." I murmured, the phone close to my ear. My knuckles were already white because the grip around the phone was so tight.

"What happened?" He asked angrily and I whimpered.

"I don't know how... but she found out..." I took a deep breath and tried to calm down again. I had cried so much the last two days, how could there be still anything left? I wanted to rip all my hair out if I would get the chance to explain it to her. Now James had called me and wanted to know what has happened because his sister hadn't come out of her room all day – only because of what I did.

"How?!" He exclaimed angrily. I could tell he was tremendously angry and I had never seen him like this. We had stayed in touch ever since he had brought me to the hospital if this case would happen or just so he would have someone to talk. I still felt sympathy for him because Lisa still hated him like before and it looked like he had no friends except for me. Just like I did before I had met Lisa...

It was like both our social lives depended on this blonde girl, which happened to hate us both now.

"I don't know... We wanted to go and get some ice cream after school but she needed to get something from home first and then she went inside and didn't come back out. I shouted for her and rang the doorbell but then your dad opened and then Lisa came downstairs and told me she knew the truth..."

"Oh no..." He breathed out and shook his head. "I know what has happened – I have my plan, how to kidnap you, and your jacket still in the back room. As I know Lisa she came home to get some money and she had nothing left and went to my room to get something..." He sighed and I could imagine him running his hand through his hair. "Should I try talking to her?"

"Please..." I whimpered and bit my lower lip. "I... I tried to explain it but she wouldn't listen to me and slammed the door..." Again tears streamed down my face and I wiped my eyes, trying to avoid them. Ugh, why did I still cry?!

"I will do my best. Or at least I will try convincing her that she needs to go to school tomorrow so you can talk to her there."

"Thank you, James, I owe you something."

"You don't, you already got kidnapped by me," he laughed and I couldn't help but shudder – even though I didn't mind being in their house it was still not nice thinking about how I had starved the first three days and in what kind of room I had been in.

"Still, thank you," I breathed out and he disconnected.

I lay down on the bed again and breathed out. Maybe everything would turn out alright again, if I just believed...

"Are Chaeyoung and Lisa back in school today?"

"Look there is Chaeyoung!"

"I already thought they ran away and married," Jennie chuckled and as I looked over I could see her and Jisoo walking towards me. "Hey, Chaeyoung, where have you and Lisa been yesterday?"

"Celebrating their one-month, I guess," Jisoo laughed and I bit my lower lip, trying not to cry. Yesterday it had been a month since Lisa and I were dating and we hadn't spoken a word with each other...

"Err... Lisa and I... We kind of had a fight two days ago," I murmured and wiped my eyes again, seeing their shocked faces.

"Where is Lisa?" Jennie immediately asked and I felt a sting in my heart. But I understood it – Jennie had always been protective over Lisa. It just hurt to know that we were friends but I would always only be on the second place. If it wasn't because of Lisa I would also be here the outsider...
